I wonder how X-Plane solved that, they're using an irregular grid too,
but the texture borders look rather seamless which makes the visual
quality very realistic.
Just reporting, I've been working on creating some models near PASI.
When I started up PASI using fgfs --disable-real-weather-fetch --airport=PASI
--aircraft=ufo
none of the OBJECT_STATIC or OBJECT_SHARED models loaded. OBJECT_SIGN models
DID load, however.
I was rather livid for a few

We also note that you are back to using the .png textures with their
black
edges etc., rather than the .dds that we provided. Use of .dds textures
should at least be no worse than .png and at best will provide a small
performance advantage.
That's a technical requirement of Stuart's

The other option is that I make the relevant changes in
January despite feature freeze. Or the third option is that the old
version of Local Weather gets shipped with 2.6 - the flag to do so is
still in the code.
Everything you mentioned sounds like bug fixing to me, not adding new
features.

Rather than using the same texture, we can simply have a separate
texture for object type and rotation.
It's simple enough to place objects along a linear feature (like a
road):
Unfortunately, we are only scratching around the edges for improved
performance using the existing technique, and really we need to try
something a bit more radical.

Hello,
I think I've reached a good point to start applying changes to the
terragear repo. I can either start issuing merge requests, or, given
access, apply changes on a dev branch.
Which method is preferred by the terragear maintainers?
A couple other questions about future development.
1)
A new clone of flightgear sorted that problem out.
Regards
Sid.
